    Grown-ups branching out and living high By Steven Barrie-Anthony, LOS ANGELES TIMES
    Nelson's Seattle-based company TreeHouse Workshop has built more than 60 treehouses in the last six years, many of them for adults. The world's largest treehouse builder, Scotland-based TreeHouse Co., fields 'far more enquiries from the States than from all other countries combined,' says President John Harris, whose company will build more than 150 treehouses this year, up from 40 in 2000 and three in 1996.

    In the past five years, home offices, libraries, guest rooms, even entire houses have increasingly begun migrating skyward, aided by a tightknit cadre of treehouse architects, carpenters, arborists and engineers who build treehouses full time.
